Funky Monkey Brand Snacks

 Funky Monkey Snacks gave me a bag of their Purple Funk banana chips to try, and I was pleasantly surprised to find them delicious!  These snacks are plain fruit that have been freeze dried, making them light and crunchy. I love how the banana chips melt on your tongue, making them fun to eat. Imagine of a consistency of blended astronaut ice cream,  the old fashioned candy flying saucers and pop-rocks! They  keep the nutrients and flavor of fruit, and add NOTHING!   Purple Funk is vegan, Kosher and gluten free and the package ( .42 oz) equals a serving of fruit  as defined by the USDA.   

 My sample was banana acai,and although I enjoyed these two flavors (and the only 2 ingredients) together, it is the fruit texture I really enjoyed.  This is a product that makes a healthy snack and it’s fun to eat.  They make a healthy substitute for candy and other treats, and kids will find the product and packaging appealing.
